Samaritans with 'roses' theme float, 1999.

The theme the group chose for this year was roses and the people were dressed as clowns. The theme of Roses was inspired by the creation of a 'Samaritan's Rose' by Harkness Roses of Hitchin. The rose was orange and black which used to be the colours of the Samaritans before they changed to green.

Marilyn Gearing spent a long time spray painting lots of roses orange for the float. Marilyn is standing in the middle of the group wearing a straw hat.


The group won first prize in their category with this entry.
